I've got you "followed" now so I can check out more of your blog.<BR/><BR/>I don't have children yet, but I do have the most precious little puppy dog. And sometimes when he stands on his back paws and places his paws against my legs, saying, "hey, pick me up or pay attention to me!" I think of the verses where Jesus says God is mindful even of the sparrows, and if He can be mindful of the little creatures of this world, how much more he knows and cares for us.<BR/><BR/>But I struggle with believing that, despite the sin I still struggle with, He wants to meet with me, wants to spend time with me. I still struggle with the idea of God as a critical Father, one who isn't interested in me if I'm not "perfect". Of course I know this is not true and by faith I grow more and more to trust Him, but it's a process of renewal of the mind for sure.<BR/><BR/>Have a blessed day and thanks for participating!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412744189611967954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271233348676627606.post-48341598059007706802008-12-10T10:19:00.000-06:002008-12-10T10:19:00.000-06:00What a great post.

If only I could be as good a parent as Him!<BR/>Great blog, great insight into how He so readily responds to our needs.Seeking Him, Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15214338594709796334noreply@blogger.com
